196.85 ml/h - Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive

Creators:	AUTOGENA, Lise and PORTWAY, Joshua
Abstract:	The exhibition space fills with oil at the same rate that the oceans are rising. A computer-controlled laboratory pump produces a precisely calibrated drip of oil which forms a puddle on the floor at the rate of 196.85 millilitres per hour; at this rate the level of oil in the room will rise at 3.6mm per year, the current rate that the oceans are rising. The oil drips at a rate of almost one drop per second, a quiet and insistent rhythm that is meditative and yet relentless, reminiscent of hourglasses and of taps dripping in the night.
